[shut elk]

ok

[lusty smelt]

IMO defer first wont hurt anything.

[shut elk]

ok

thank you 👍

[lusty smelt]

Ahh.. I dont deserve that.. haha.. I feel like I lead you astray with my lack of understanding.

pymongo.errors.CursorNotFound: cursor id 3343587727049317749 not found, full error: {'ok': 0.0, 'errmsg': 'cursor id 3343587727049317749 not found', 'code': 43, 'codeName': 'CursorNotFound', '$clusterTime': {'clusterTime': Timestamp(1673983973, 3), 'signature': {'hash': b'}\r\x05o\xfejJ\x87!6\xf7?P\xa0\xb3\x00\xf7\xbf\x8fs', 'keyId': 7127295041399160841}}, 'operationTime': Timestamp(1673983973, 3)}
``` That is your entire error.

[young dagger]

The cursor id is different each time.

[lusty smelt]

I stand corrected.. googled the error.

You are timing out.

[shut elk]

nah, i've been dealing with this like for multiple days and asked multiple people, i think it might just be my server being too slow along with my messy code that is causing the problem. Probably will revamp when I have more free time but at the moment ill probably leave it as it is. It isn't causing much problems, it is just making one ort wo buttons not work every like 12 hours so it should be fine

[young dagger]

So users.close() will solve the problem?

[shut elk]

Thanks for ur help tho lol

[young dagger]

To close the cursor

[lusty smelt]

per their docs.
Cursors in MongoDB can timeout on the server if they’ve been open for a long time without any operations being performed on them. This can lead to an CursorNotFound exception being raised when attempting to iterate the cursor.

[sick birch]

You're using pymongo, right?

[young dagger]

That is what I was suspecting too

[young dagger]

Yes

[sick birch]

Pymongo is a blocking client

And when you do long blocking I/O things start getting funky in an asynchronous environment

It blocks your entire event loop from running

discord.py can no longer heartbeat the gateway, gets disconnected, and overall spotty connection

!pypi motor

[unkempt canyon]

motor v3.1.1

Non-blocking MongoDB driver for Tornado or asyncio

[sick birch]

For an asynchronous alternative

[naive briar]

Some people already told him about that

[lusty smelt]

sigh

Shows how stupid I am 😛

[young dagger]

But don't I need a synchronous method for the code to check one user at a time?

[sick birch]

Oh my bad

I just popped in lol

[sick birch]

Async or not, only one line of code can run at a time

Asynchronous programming, at least in Python, is not truly "parallel"

It uses just 1 thread, which is why things that block the entire thread (such as time.sleep() or blocking I/O clients like pymongo) can be problematic

[young dagger]

@sick birch Can you please explain why I'm not seeing the error anymore with users.close()?

In the following code:

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    print("Updating all users from the database...")
    # Get all the users in the collection
    users = collection.find()
    for user in users:
        summoner_id = user['summoner_id']
        summoner_name = get_summoner_name(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        tier, rank = get_tier_and_rank(summoner_name, summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        elo_rating = get_elo_rating(summoner_name, summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        collection.update_one({"summoner_id": summoner_id}, {"$set": {"tier": tier, "rank": rank, "elo_rating": elo_rating}})
        await asyncio.sleep(2)
    users.close()
    print("Finished updating all users from the database.")

[sick birch]

Looks like some syntax errors are going on there

Is that just Discord or in your code?

[young dagger]

My code

[sick birch]

Yeah looks to be an unclosed quotation

[young dagger]

Sorry updated version^

[young dagger]

They are actually not unclosed, my bad.

[sick birch]

As per your original question -
users was probably some sort of cursor object, when it was not closed, you were keeping an I/O operation open for a long time

[young dagger]

Thanks. So if I change to motor do I have to change the entire code of mine? Or can I keep example collection.update_one({"summoner_id": summoner_id}, {"$set": {"tier": tier, "rank": rank, "elo_rating": elo_rating}}

[sick birch]

It will require a significant rewrite unfortunately

Better now than later down the road with a larger codebase

[young dagger]

I heard motor is being retired and no longer maintained. Is that not true?

[sick birch]

Oh is it?

I haven't heard

[young dagger]

So using pymongo is really that bad huh?

[sick birch]

It's not bad it's just not the right tool for the job

A screwdriver is not bad because you can't slice bread with them 😛

[pliant gulch]

Where did you hear about motor being un-maintained/retired?

There was literally a PR merged a week ago

[sick birch]

No currently active PRs or issues though 🤔
Guessing that's because they're just on top of things

[young dagger]

Nvm I could be wrong

[pliant gulch]

You know who else is on top of things, eric

Guy's a type machine

[young dagger]

I understand, thank you. My apologies, I am still learning

[naive briar]

That's okay

[velvet sierra]

someone know how i can get a text from TextInput?

[naive briar]

!d discord.ui.TextInput.value

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.TextInput.value

property value```
The value of the text input.

[velvet sierra]

ty

[potent spear]

note about document based dbs^

[young dagger]

Do I have to close users when I use motor instead of pymongo?

Or should I use it to stop the I/O operation?

[sick birch]

You will still probably have to close it

Or if motor provides a context manager (like aiosqlite) does, you won't have to manually

[young dagger]

Ok thanks

[jaunty hare]

hi! someone has a little code of aiosqlite? i dont understand nothing of documentation and idk what to do

[sick birch]

Here's an example of how you'd integrate aiosqlite with discord.py. This is just a framework I'd like you to off of rather than copy and pasting (it most likely won't work if you do that)

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
  def setup_hook(self) -> None:
    self.db = await aiosqlite.connect("filename.db")

bot = MyBot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())

@bot.command()
async def db_operation(self, ctx: commands.Context, ...) -> None:
  async with bot.db.execute("<SQL QUERY HERE>") as cursor:
    # operate on `cursor`
  await ctx.send("Database operation complete!")

bot.run()

[jaunty hare]

thank u

[velvet sierra]

someone know how i can send a modal after someone click in one button?

[sick birch]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_modal

await send_modal(modal, /)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Responds to this interaction by sending a modal.

[velvet sierra]

i was trying
await interaction.response.send_modal(Mymodal())
but it was giving a error

[sick birch]

What error?

[velvet sierra]

discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

[sick birch]

Can you show us your code?

[velvet sierra]

i cant bc it has some personal things inside

[sick birch]

We can't really help then

[hushed galleon]

usually means the callback timed out doesnt it

[sick birch]

Yeah

You have 3 seconds to respond to an interaction

If it takes longer you can defer()

[hushed galleon]

well, in the case of a modal you cant defer

[velvet sierra]

        class Mymodal(discord.ui.Modal, title='z'):
            answer = discord.ui.TextInput(label='t', style=discord.TextStyle.short, required = True, placeholder='q')
            async def on_submit(self, interaction):
                await interaction.response.send_message('k')
                if str(c) == str(d):
                    await interaction.response.send_message('a')
                else:
                    await interaction.response.send_message('b')
        class Button(discord.ui.View):
            @discord.ui.button(label="x", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji="y")
            async def mybutton(self, interaction, button):
                 ...
                await interaction.response.defer()
                await asyncio.sleep(1)
                await interaction.response.send_modal(Mymodal(timeout=None))

looks like the defer did not solved, that just gived me a different error:

discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

[slate swan]

you can't defer

and then send a modal @velvet sierra

i suggest not sending a modal at the end if ur doing a bunch of shit

create a seperate buttoni

to send a modal

[velvet sierra]

ye, mb, i changed the places and it worked, it give a small error of

discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

but all looks like working fine, i'll do the real test rn

[glad dock]

Since discord.py is an ascio loop, does that mean anything inside of the bot script would be ran constantly as well?

Can I make it infinitely print things?

[slate swan]

no its not

[torn sail]

There is member.guild_permissions but you may be looking for channel.permissions_for(member)

[slate swan]

what do u mean top 3?

permissions aren't ordered in any specific way

that doesn't exist with user permissions.

yea u got some custom stuff going on

owner by default has all perms

how is your most_common func setup?

im assuming it just gets all member perms from guild and counts each perm and gets the lowest count perm?

well u have .most_common

but u said u wanted least common

well cause

roles override those permissions

u should check role permissions rather than individual perms

[sick birch]

day in the life of a programmer

[craggy sleet]

does anyone know how to call a discord bot's command but through a website?

i need to access some discord info through my website and was wondering if there was a way

[slate swan]

use a database

or make an api

[craggy sleet]

how would i make an api for discord bot commands

[slate swan]

the command is still a function

just call the function

[craggy sleet]

youd have to run both the web framework and the discord bot client in the same file tho

im not sure

[slate swan]

not exactly. your best bet tho is using a database

especially if you just need to access data

[craggy sleet]

well, what i was aiming for was checking if a user was in a server

[slate swan]

just use oauth?

[craggy sleet]

then they get access to different things on the website

hm thats true

[slate swan]

u can see all servers the user is in as well as mutual servers

[craggy sleet]

makes sense

thanks

[slate swan]

yup

[naive briar]

Why

Just set it normally

[craggy sleet]

wym?

[tough lance]

Hi, what is the best way to keep a discord bot script running in Ubuntu

[loud junco]

what is ubuntu

[naive briar]

Just leave the program running? 🤷

[tough lance]

Well, it closes after I close my SSH session

[slate swan]

https://askubuntu.com/questions/8653/how-to-keep-processes-running-after-ending-ssh-session

[vale wing]

Wait ima give I guide

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/docker-hosting-guide/

Containerising application is better than just running it

[tough lance]

Well I was using nohup before but my bot was crashing for no reason.

No error message. I thought it was a memory leak, but it wasn't

[vale wing]

Linux-based OS

[vale wing]

How the heck do error messages and memory leaks relate

[tough lance]

I mean, the script crashing due to memory leak

Like killed by OOM killer

I saw in system logs it was before, and I fixed it, but now it is crashing even with low memory usage

[slate swan]

Anyone know best hosting website for discord.py bot & pycord

[naive briar]

[agile lark]

Am i dumb, or what?

  File "/home/hedmad/Files/repos/Milton/milton/cogs/math_render.py", line 71, in on_message
    await self.bot.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout=300, check=event_check)
TypeError: Client.wait_for() missing 1 required positional argument: 'event'

The "reaction_add" is the event?

The signature is wait_for(event, /, *, check=None, timeout=None)...?

Ok - nevermind. I'm just an idiot

[vale wing]

No that's not what's called memory leak

[tough lance]

?

[vale wing]

Perhaps you meant memory overuse

[tough lance]

What's the difference? asking genuinely

Like memory building up overtime isn't memory leak?

[vale wing]

Memory overuse is when you exceed amount of RAM available, memory leak is program issue that leaves unused stuff in memory

[tough lance]

My problem was that buffers weren't closed

So that was a memory leak

[vale wing]

To be more precise "memory for object you finished operating with was never deallocated"

[vale wing]

After program is killed memory it used frees up

[vale wing]

What buffers

[tough lance]

BytesIO

[vale wing]

Python has garbage collector, there can't be memory leaks 💀

Unless it acts dumb

[tough lance]

I used tracemalloc to pinpoint it

[vale wing]

Anyways your problem is in different thing

[tough lance]

Still trying to figure out

[vale wing]

You used nohup?

[tough lance]

Ya

My bot is in ~1.8k servers btw

[vale wing]

Follow my guide instead and use docker

[tough lance]

And has a high usage

[vale wing]

Docker isn't gonna affect its performance

ok

[oak warren]

Because no versions of easy-pil match >0.1.9,<0.2.0
   and easy-pil (0.1.9) depends on aiohttp (>=3.6.0,<=3.8.1), easy-pil (>=0.1.9,<0.2.0) requires aiohttp (>=3.6.0,<=3.8.1).
  And because discord (rev master) depends on aiohttp (>=3.8.2,<4.0), easy-pil (>=0.1.9,<0.2.0) is incompatible with discord (rev master).
  So, because project depends on both discord (branch master) and easy-pil (^0.1.9), version solving failed.

[naive briar]

Or literally just use Pillow

[oak warren]

my code is kinda complete for it

it used to work but now they changed it

you could switch back to an older version

nvm this

wait actually its' the famous replit issue lol

just create a new repl ig

        collection.update_one({"summoner_id": summoner_id}, {"$set": {"tier": tier, "rank": rank, "elo_rating": elo_rating}})
        await asyncio.sleep(10)
    cursor.close()```

[upbeat otter]

you can see which apis offer no authentication, they'll probably have unlimited uses if they do not do stuff with the ip addresses and limit uses

[slate swan]

✅ this should work

[upbeat otter]

users = cursor

[slate swan]

Most do yes

[young dagger]

What is wrong with it?

[slate swan]

.bm

[lament depot]

Click the button to be sent your very own bookmark to [this message](#discord-bots message).

[upbeat otter]

you're only declaring a useless variable

but ok

[young dagger]

So should I remove it and keep the rest?

[upbeat otter]

yes

[young dagger]

NameError: name 'users' is not defined

[young dagger]

pymongo.errors.OperationFailure: noTimeout cursors are disallowed in this atlas tier, full error: {'ok': 0, 'errmsg': 'noTimeout cursors are disallowed in this atlas tier', 'code': 8000, 'codeName': 'AtlasError'}

Am I the only one with this issue?

[white citrus]

@slate swan is the google translate api also free and unlimited?

[upbeat otter]

you can't use cursors which do not have timeouts

[upbeat otter]

learn python

[young dagger]

Dude you just told me to remove the variable

[upbeat otter]

ok and

[young dagger]

And the error occurred

[young dagger]

I'm learning, thanks

[shrewd fjord]

;-;

[upbeat otter]

[shrewd fjord]

xd

[upbeat otter]

[shrewd fjord]

Add it back

And make
no_timeout_cursot or something to False

no_cursor_timeout=False

[upbeat otter]

cursot UwU

[shrewd fjord]

Keyboard

[young dagger]

I'm changing my code to use motor instead.

I heard motor is much better

[upbeat otter]

it's the same but just asynchronous

[spiral crypt]

async def kick(ctx, userName: discord.User, *, reason: str):
    await kick(user=userName, reason=reason)

I read thru the docs a bit and looked up some examples but i have 0 idea why this isnt working
/nvm im dumb i got it

[sick birch]

Seems to be missing the decorator

Unless you just left it off while pasting

[spiral crypt]

yeah i just left it out when copy pasting

@client.command()
async def kick(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await member.kick(reason=reason)

this ended up working

[tough lance]

A recommendation, if your bot is supposed to be database heavy, then PostgreSQL is the best option.

[young dagger]

It's not really database heavy. But I want to get rid of all the errors I'm getting.

So I changed the code to:

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    # Get all the users in the collection
    users = await collection.find().to_list(length=None)
    for user in users:
        summoner_id = user['summoner_id']
        summoner_name = get_summoner_name(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        tier, rank = get_tier_and_rank(summoner_name, summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        elo_rating = get_elo_rating(summoner_name, summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        await collection.update_one({"summoner_id": summoner_id}, {"$set": {"tier": tier, "rank": rank, "elo_rating": elo_rating}})
        await asyncio.sleep(10)```

@sick birch Do you think to_list() method can be used to retrieve the results of the find method as a list, instead of a cursor. and this should not give me any cursor errors anymore?

I'm using motor now btw

[slate swan]

I think there's limit

[sick birch]

Not sure, I don't use mongo sorry

[slate swan]

hey, i used to make discord bots a couple of months ago but i know the main library got discontinued or something so could someone please send an updated template thanks

[sick birch]

Discord.py is not discontinued

If that's what you mean by the "main library"

[scarlet aurora]

hey robin can I get ur help

[slate swan]

oh really? I dont remember much but I remember the creator quitting

[sick birch]

It's still more or less the status quo

[slate swan]

well, has anything changed since i heard discord is getting rid of text commands

[scarlet aurora]

@sick birch

[sick birch]

Yeah there's been quite a few changes

I could recommend reading the migration guide

[slate swan]

I recommend nextcord for slash commands it's been good for me so far

@bot.slash_command(name="hi", guild_ids=[38292928])
async def command(inter: nextcord.Interaction):
await inter.response.send_message("hi")

[glad cradle]

disnake is better 😈

[hushed galleon]

danny came back after seeing everyone scattered across different libraries, dpy v2.0 finished development on august, and the message content intent became privileged on september

[sick birch]

I personally would just recommend discord.py since your existing codebase may already be in discord.py. It also has the most support and maturity IMO

[glad cradle]

"maturity": the 2k kids making a discord Bot without knowing python

[sick birch]

I'm referring to the people who've been contributing for years

The one good / bad thing (depending on how you look at it) that came out Discord.py's toxic community is that it keeps most newcomers / inexperienced developers from contributing, lol

[glad cradle]

o_O Some things could be implemented in a better way (eg slash commands)

[sick birch]

Every library has its flaws

Though I personally haven't had any issues

I find it intuitive to work with

[hushed galleon]

so far ive been cool with the command tree and transformers

[young dagger]

ImportError: cannot import name 'ReturnDocument' from 'motor.core'

from motor.core import ReturnDocument

I installed motor with pip3 install motor, is there anything I'm missing?

[hushed galleon]

thats more of a #databases question but ReturnDocument appears to be part of pymongo, not motor itself

[slate swan]

            case_id = 1```

[hushed galleon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html#moving-away-from-custom-asynciterator
dpy 2.0 moved away from their custom iterators so you'll have to rewrite it using anext()/__anext__()

[hushed galleon]

fix what, the import error? its described in their docs where you'd import ReturnDocument:
https://motor.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api-asyncio/asyncio_motor_collection.html#motor.motor_asyncio.AsyncIOMotorCollection.find_one_and_update

[young dagger]

So I need to borrow that function from pymongo? Is there no way to only use motor to do the same thing?

[slate swan]

thanks

[hushed galleon]

motor itself installs pymongo as a dependency

[slate swan]

can i still use prefix commands if my bot isnt in a 100 servers?

[hushed galleon]

below 100 servers you dont need to verify to enable message content, and any message that mentions the bot or goes to its DMs will receive message content regardless

[young dagger]

Why do I then have to import it from pymongo?

[hushed galleon]

go ask the motor devs that

[slate swan]

so it can only read messages that mentions the bots or dms, not all messages?

[hushed galleon]

if you dont enable the message content intent that is

[slate swan]

oh alright ill enable it

[vocal viper]

help me

[hushed galleon]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[vocal viper]

??

[hushed galleon]

Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

that tag is describing what intents are and how you'd add them to your bot constructor

also please make sure you've reset your token

[vocal viper]

okey

pls help me

[hushed galleon]

what part of the bot's tag are you confused about?

[vocal viper]

this problem

problemm

[hushed galleon]

unrelated topic, with the prevalence of embeds in bot and webhook messages, i have to wonder why discord still has a setting to disable embeds outright

[hushed galleon]

you need to specify what gateway intents your bot will be using when it connects to discord, as described by the tag

[vocal viper]

ok

thankss

[slate swan]

hide your token btw

[slate swan]

How?

[hushed galleon]

well the link i sent describes it...

If you need to get next item from an iterator without a loop, you can use anext() (new in Python 3.10) or __anext__() instead:

# after
it = channel.history()
first = await anext(it)  # await it.__anext__() on Python<3.10
... ```

[slate swan]

why doesn't commands with ctx work for me?

[hushed galleon]

bot isnt running, bot cant see your message being sent, bot cant read the content of that message, bot isnt processing your message as a command, bot doesnt recognize the prefix of your command, bot doesnt recognize the command, etc.

we need to see your code, output, and what you've tried typing in discord to figure out what the issue is

[steep totem]

Hey! Is there maybe a way, to define a function, then make a lot of ifs and if one of the if is true, then set a variable to a specified number, thats in the function, and then run the function? It should probably look something like this, but sadly its not working.

def fankson(fanksonvariable):
    print(fanksonvariable)

@client.event
async def on_message(message, fanksonvariable):

    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$statsimportant'):
        fanksonvariable = 0
        if str(message.guild.id) == first_server_id:
            fanksonvariable = 1
            fankson()

        elif str(message.guild.id) == second_server_id:
            fanksonvariable = 2
            fankson()

        else:
            await message.channel.send("You don't have a license.")

[slate swan]

I can send code

[hushed galleon]

you made it a parameter of your function, so why not pass the value to your function? i.e. fankson(2)

[hushed galleon]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[steep totem]

wdym, can you please give me an example?

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ovikoropez

intents.message_content = True
``` this is still the old code i have changed it

[hushed galleon]

def get_stats_for(guild_id):
    ...  #        ^^^^^^^^ a function parameter

# in on_message:
guild_id = message.guild.id
if guild_id in licensed_guilds:
    stats = get_stats_for(guild_id)
    #                     ^^^^^^^^
    #       passes the value of the guild_id variable as a function argument```

[hushed galleon]

hmm code itself seems fine, is the bot able to read messages in whatever channel you typed !hello to?

[slate swan]

the bot could read the message

[steep totem]

thank you, my only problem is that every licensed guild has its own unique variable. Thats why i want to check for every licensed server, and then set the fanksonvariable to the unique variable, and then run the stats.

so not just check if its licensed or not, but check what is its unique 2-3word identifier

[hushed galleon]

presumably it said in the console that the bot was ready, right? and is that everything in your code? no on_message event?

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content == "!hello":
        await message.channel.send("Hello how are you?")
``` if so the code goes as the bot responds

[hushed galleon]

an on_message prevents commands from running unless you explicitly tell your bot to process them

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

[slate swan]

How can you change that?

[hushed galleon]

do what the FAQ says, use bot.process_commands() or make it a listener

[hushed galleon]

you should probably consider using a dictionary to map the unique value to each guild, e.g. guild_fankson = {first_server_id: 1, second_server_id: 2}

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send("hello how are you?")
await client.process_commands(message)

So?

[hushed galleon]

it has to go inside your on_message event, and also match the same name you used in the @ decorator

you defined your Bot instance under the variable name client, and process_commands() is a method of Bot

[steep totem]

thank you, lemme try making it.

[slate swan]

So whoever is @client above must also be a client below. being

[steep totem]

there are still a few unclear things in my head, but ill try 😊

[slate swan]

So is that correct?

[steep totem]

im sorry but i still dont get it.

[hushed galleon]

it has to go inside your on_message event

[steep totem]

How can that be done, that i check for the guild id, if its = to a specified guild id by me, set a variable to a value set by the code, and then run a function with that variables inside.

I tried with ur code, but i still dont get how, and why it doesnt work... 😢

[slate swan]

I see

will test it right away

[young dagger]

Should I close the connection to the database after it updated all users?

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    # Get all the users in the collection
    users = await collection.find().to_list(length=None)
    for user in users:
        summoner_id = user['summoner_id']
        summoner_name = get_summoner_name(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        tier, rank = get_tier_and_rank(summoner_name, summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        elo_rating = get_elo_rating(summoner_name, summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        await collection.update_one({"summoner_id": summoner_id}, {"$set": {"tier": tier, "rank": rank, "elo_rating": elo_rating}})
        await asyncio.sleep(10)```

[hushed galleon]

you're dealing with the fundamentals of functions, functions can define parameters (i.e. inputs) and when you call a function you can pass an argument/value to each of those parameters
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#defining-functions

so if you want it to have a certain value, call the function with that value and the parameter will have that value inside the function

[steep totem]

oh now i get it

omg

thank you 🥰

[hushed galleon]

assuming the connection isnt being used 24/7 probably, but it looks like you've connected to the database outside of your loop

[young dagger]

I'm using motor and this code. I don't want to keep an I/O operation open for a long time. It should close the connection after it's done updating all the users. Do I have to include some extra codes to do that? @hushed galleon

[hushed galleon]

if you open the connection inside your loop, then you shouldnt have to worry about any side effects when closing it afterwards

[young dagger]

So this is the connection right?

"mongodb+srv://botname:[e-mail]/summoners"
client_mongo = MotorClient(uri)```

[young dagger]

Let me explain what I mean. So yesterday I received this kind of error.

pymongo.errors.CursorNotFound: cursor id 3343587727049317749 not found, full error: {'ok': 0.0, 'errmsg': 'cursor id 3343587727049317749 not found', 'code': 43, 'codeName': 'CursorNotFound', '$clusterTime': {'clusterTime': Timestamp(1673983973, 3), 'signature': {'hash': b'}\r\x05o\xfejJ\x87!6\xf7?P\xa0\xb3\x00\xf7\xbf\x8fs', 'keyId': 7127295041399160841}}, 'operationTime': Timestamp(1673983973, 3)}```

[slate swan]

@hushed galleon the hello command works but if someone leaves the server there is no message

[young dagger]

@sick birch told me: users was probably some sort of cursor object, when it was not closed, you were keeping an I/O operation open for a long time

So I changed to motor. And I don't want the same thing happened again.

[sick birch]

Motor probably provides an async ctx manager to handle closing for you

You'd have to refer to docs as this is becoming #databases

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/abumunoret the error

[young dagger]

With that being said. Is there anything I have to change to my code to use an async ctx manger? Here is the code once again:

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    # Get all the users in the collection
    users = await collection.find().to_list(length=None)
    for user in users:
        summoner_id = user['summoner_id']
        summoner_name = get_summoner_name(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        tier, rank = get_tier_and_rank(summoner_name, summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        elo_rating = get_elo_rating(summoner_name, summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        await collection.update_one({"summoner_id": summoner_id}, {"$set": {"tier": tier, "rank": rank, "elo_rating": elo_rating}})
        await asyncio.sleep(10)```

[sick birch]

Not sure
Never used motor
I would check their documentation

[hushed galleon]

huh, it seems windows has denied your script permission to start a socket connection?

[slate swan]

no idea

[pliant gulch]

Might be a old version of aiohttp or they could try changing asyncio to use window selector policy

[pliant gulch]

Is this Mac OS or Windows?

[slate swan]

Windows

[pliant gulch]

What version of aiohttp?

[slate swan]

Aiohttp?

[hushed galleon]

i would doubt that would be the issue if the bot was working earlier, but tbf i havent seen an error like that before

[pliant gulch]

That error is related to DNS

So something is wrong with the DNS

As far as I can see

[young dagger]

Do you guys use an async ctx manger?

I mean when you are updating information about users etc

[vale wing]

You sure you even have internet connection? And does ping to different hosts work?

[winged linden]

How would I make a giveaway end command?

[rare echo]

depends what your giveaway has, but you would just presumably disable the prior buttons then pop out a user at random based on who joined

[winged linden]

my giveaway tool uses reactions

[rare echo]

then clear reactions if ya want

[winged linden]

Okay

how do i clear reactions

[rare echo]

i want to say just get the reaction then reaction.remove

but ill have to double check that for ya in a sec

[winged linden]

ok

[rare echo]

quick search just says you can do the whole message with clear_reaction() on the message obj

!d discord.Message.clear_reactions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.clear\_reactions

await clear_reactions()```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Removes all the reactions from the message.

You must have [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") to do this.

[rare echo]

there you go

[fair magnet]

could anyone tell me at which part of the docs i have exactly to look for dc bot sending dm as response from a command

[sick birch]

!d discord.Member.send

discord.Member.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

        await bot.user.edit(avatar=image)``` this is my code and im trying to make a command that will change my bots pfp, this is the error im getting ```TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not Attachment

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

nextcord.errors.ApplicationInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not Attachment```. anyone know a fix

[primal token]

You mean hyperlink?

You need to use this iirc

!d discord.Embed.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.url

The URL of the embed. This can be set during initialisation.

[primal token]

!d discord.Attachment.read | You can use this and set it as the pfp of the bot iirc

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment.read

await read(*, use_cached=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Retrieves the content of this attachment as a [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "(in Python v3.11)") object.

New in version 1.1.

[slate swan]

so do i replace the bot.user.edit with that??

[sick birch]

Ya since it's async

[slate swan]

or where do i add that at

[sick birch]

Long I/O waits are not a problem for async

[primal token]

No? It returns a bytes object

[sick birch]

Wastes resources at worst

[slate swan]

where would i put that at

[primal token]

You would pass it to await bot.user.edit(avatar=image)?

So you would just do

await bot.user.edit(avatar=await avatar.read())

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

its giving the same error ```py
@bot.slash_command(description="Change the bots pfp")
@application_checks.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def change_pfp(interaction: nextcord.Interaction, avatar:nextcord.Attachment):
with open(avatar, 'rb') as image:
await bot.user.edit(avatar=await avatar.read())

[primal token]

dont open it

[slate swan]

ok

[primal token]

Remove the first line after the function definition

[slate swan]

so this

alr i got it

[primal token]

Yep! btw add a space after the word avatar in the parameters

[slate swan]

Didn't understand what to do

Nvm i did it

[young dagger]

What is the optimal way to handle CommandNotFound error?

[sick birch]

Ignore it

[young dagger]

Good way to ignore it?

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
        pass
    else:
        raise error```

[sick birch]

Bots that say "did you mean X" when you type the wrong command are annoying

[sick birch]

You don't even need to do that

I would let it log just for logging purposes but other than that just ignore it

[young dagger]

Ok

[slate swan]

how can i make a command so that when someone authorizes with my bot and They allow the bot to join servers for them, and if they leave the server i can run a command that will pull them back in

asking for a friend

[young dagger]

Will do

Thanks

[sick birch]

We're probably not going to be helping with those kind of bots here

[slate swan]

wym those kinds of bots?

[sick birch]

There have been these bots going around recently that force users to stay in a server against their will

[slate swan]

thats not what im trying to do so can someone help

[sick birch]

That seems to be exactly what it is
Why do you want to pull a user back into a server if they leave?

That seems to go against the intention of "leaving" a server

I would take a look at Discord's Developer Terms of Service Section 2b.

[slate swan]

if they leave server and cant find invite and i can just rejoin for them 😃

[sick birch]

You can DM them the invite instead

!d discord.Member.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[sick birch]

Even then is... questionable. You're DMing a user that is no longer in your server

[slate swan]

yeah thats why i want my method

[sick birch]

The other method is even more questionable and certain violates Discord's developer policy and terms

Just send them an invite to your server. It'll most likely fail since they no longer share a server with your bot, though so that makes it much better

[slate swan]

but if i cant invite them because they have me blocked

but they dm my friend saying they want to join and he cant make invites

[sick birch]

That is the user's choice and in accordance with the developer policy

If they have the setting enabled, that means they do not want to be contacted from bots that are in their server and you have to respect that

Your Application must respect user decisions to opt out of or block the Application, as applicable.
https://discord.com/developers/docs/policies-and-agreements/developer-policy

[slate swan]

they want to join

[sick birch]

Create some other avenue for them to contact you for an invitation link

Forcing all users to stay in a server just for a few users that do actually want to rejoin is against Discord's policies

Sorry, but I see too many ways that this could be used maliciously. Not sure we can help you in accordance with rule #5. I would recommend taking a read through some of these links:
https://discord.com/developers/docs/policies-and-agreements/developer-policy
https://discord.com/developers/docs/policies-and-agreements/developer-terms-of-service
https://discord.com/guidelines
https://discord.com/terms

[slate swan]

no just that user

[static epoch]

you know, if they blocked you, I don't think that you should go out of your way to "allow" them to join your server in that way

[sick birch]

If it's just one user it shouldn't be a big deal to give them your Discord contact information if they need to rejoin back

Why waste the time and effort creating a whole Oauth application process just for one user?

Just add them as a friend and they can DM you whenever for an invite 😄

AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[torn sail]

it would be commands.Bot assuming that you imported from discord.ext import commands at the top of your file

[hollow gazelle]

Traceback (most recent call last):

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'

[torn sail]

what discord.py version are you on?

[hollow gazelle]

let me check

discord 2.1.0
discord.py 1.7.3

[torn sail]

try uninstall discord and discord.py and then just install discord.py

pip uninstall discord, pip uninstall discord.py, pip install discord.py

[slate swan]

I wanted to create a command where the bot designates roles to a certain user upon mention

eg. c-role @user
the role ids/roles will already be defined in the code

does anyone know how to do this?

import logging
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

logging = logging.getLogger('Discord')
print ("loading...")

spooky = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix="c-",
    intents=discord.Intents.all(),
    case_insensitive = True,
    help_command=None,
    )

@spooky.event
async def on_ready(server):  
    print("Hello World!")

@spooky.event
async def on_ready():

    if .guild.id != 1063661449832058961:
        return
    log_channel = spooky.get_channel(958975903839428668)
    mm_role1 = .guild.get_role(1063671567046946897) 
    mm_role2 = .guild.get_role(1063699294227537940)

    @spooky.command()
    async def mm(ctx, member : discord.Member):
        await member.add_roles(mm_role1, mm_role2)```

this is kinda what I've done so far, I want it to be so the bot recognises the server id and then the command c-mm @user will add certain roles but I'm kind of stuck

[lone lichen]

In on ready you dont have guild defined

[tough lance]

Also why do you have two on_ready events anyway?

[sick birch]

Your command async def mm should not be inside on_ready

You most likely do not even need the 2nd on_ready

@spooky.command()
async def mm(ctx, member: discord.Member):
  ...

is good enough

[slate swan]

okay! thank you,!

[slate swan]

how do I make it so the bot recognizes roles in a certain guild?

[lone lichen]

!d discord.Guild.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.roles

property roles```
Returns a sequence of the guild’s roles in hierarchy order.

The first element of this sequence will be the lowest role in the hierarchy.

[lone lichen]

This?

[slate swan]

yes, thank you!

[lone lichen]

Also when you define mm_role1 It’ s only accessible inside that on_ready function and not in the command

[slate swan]

I see, I've updated my code to this:

import logging
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

logging = logging.getLogger('Discord')
print ("loading...")

spooky = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix="c-",
    intents=discord.Intents.all(),
    case_insensitive = True,
    help_command=None,
    )

@spooky.event
async def on_ready():  
    print("Hello World!")

log_channel = spooky.get_channel(958975903839428668)
mm_role1 = discord.guild.Role(1063671567046946897) 
mm_role2 = discord.guild.Role(1063699294227537940)

@spooky.command()
async def mm(ctx, member: discord.Member):
  await member.add_roles(mm_role1, mm_role2)```

but it gives me an error whenever I run it

[lone lichen]

What error

[slate swan]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/myname/Custom bot/main.py", line 20, in <module>
mm_role1 = discord.guild.Role(1063671567046946897)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: Role.init() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[lone lichen]

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID.

Changed in version 2.0: `role_id` parameter is now positional-only.

[lone lichen]

Also you dont use discord.Guild class

U need an instance of that class which represents a specific guild

[slate swan]

I see, am I able to dm you quickly if that's okay?

[lone lichen]

Yea sure ig

[slate swan]

hii, I still need some help with this if ur free

[naive briar]

Just ask it

[slate swan]

 middleman.add_field(
     name="Date added:",

     inline=True
  )
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

code at start:

discord.utils.format_dt(datetime.utcnow(), style="R")```

[sick birch]

It's not an in-place operation

[slate swan]

I'm trying to make it display in this format:

eg. Date added: 5 years ago (constantly changing as time changes) but it displays like this instead

[sick birch]

dynamic_timestamp = discord.utils.format_dt(...)
my_embed.add_field(..., value=dynamic_timestamp)

[slate swan]

I see, so I need to include it within the command?

[sick birch]

Yes

[slate swan]

got it, thanks!

[slate swan]

it displays as a dynamic timestamp now, but rather than it constantly changing as time changes, it simply just says "11 hours ago"

dynamic_timestamp = discord.utils.format_dt(datetime.utcnow(), style="R")
  embed=discord.Embed(
     title="⠀⠀ User Added﹕ ✦", 
     description=f"{member.mention} is now a <@&1063671567046946897>",

  )
  embed.add_field(
     name="Date added:",
     value=dynamic_timestamp,
     inline=True
  )
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[sick birch]

It'll change when the hour goes up

[torn sail]

is there a limit to the amount of rows in a view?

[slate swan]

yes but it is starting at 11 hours, rather then the second it has been added

[sick birch]

5 rows per view
5 buttons per row
1 select menu per row

[torn sail]

thanks

[sick birch]

Probably because it's utcnow instead of just now

[slate swan]

okay!

[sick birch]

You're probably UTC - 11 I'm assuming

[slate swan]

yeah

[ionic garden]

how do i take an argument as a list of users

[torn sail]

!d discord.ext.commands.Greedy

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Greedy

class discord.ext.commands.Greedy```
A special converter that greedily consumes arguments until it can’t. As a consequence of this behaviour, most input errors are silently discarded, since it is used as an indicator of when to stop parsing.

When a parser error is met the greedy converter stops converting, undoes the internal string parsing routine, and continues parsing regularly.

For example, in the following code:

```py
@commands.command()
async def test(ctx, numbers: Greedy[int], reason: str):
    await ctx.send("numbers: {}, reason: {}".format(numbers, reason))
```  An invocation of `[p]test 1 2 3 4 5 6 hello` would pass `numbers` with `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]` and `reason` with `hello`...

[torn sail]

membesr: commands.Greedy[discord.Member]

[earnest pike]

use variadic if its at the end of the parameter

[torn sail]

yep *members: discord.member

[slate swan]

does anyone know how to program so that after "who are you adding?" the bot will recognize the person being roled by either mention or discord id?

@spooky.command()
async def add(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Lets start! Who are you adding?")
    button1 = Button(label="role", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    button2 = Button(label="role", style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    button3 = Button(label="role", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    button4 = Button(label="role", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    button5 = Button(label="role", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)

    async def button1_callback(interaction):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content="**Adding as role!**", view=None)

        view = View()
        view.add_item(button4)
        view.add_item(button5)
        await ctx.send("What games can they do?", view=view)
        
        async def button5_callback(interaction):
            await ctx.send("role added!")

        button5.callback = button5_callback

    
    button1.callback = button1_callback

    view = View()
    view.add_item(button1)
    view.add_item(button2)
    view.add_item(button3)
    await ctx.send("What role will they receive?", view=view)```

and before sending the response "What role will they receive?"

[sick birch]

This is going to get a bit trickier than you expect

So if you're 100% sure you're up for it I can tell you

Otherwise best to rethink

[slate swan]

I'm up for it

sorry If I'm a bit slow or ask questions though 😭

[sick birch]

!d discord.ext.commands.RoleConverter.convert

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.RoleConverter.convert

await convert(ctx, argument)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

The method to override to do conversion logic.

If an error is found while converting, it is recommended to raise a [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError") derived exception as it will properly propagate to the error handlers.

[slate swan]

am I able to dm you, because I'm really confused? :

[sick birch]

I would prefer we keep things here

But you basically using the RoleConverter to parse a Role

BTW this is what discord.py uses under the hood when you do : discord.Role

If it's inside an interaction you may have to construct a mock context from interaction

[slate swan]

are you able to give me an example of what it would look like in my code? Im still really confused

it's supposed to work like the bot asks a question > the member gets pinged/id is sent and bot recognizes that as the person they are going to be adding or removing roles from

how to do code like this:

def shared_cooldown(rate, per, type=BucketType.default):

    def decorator(func):
        if isinstance(func, Command):
            func._buckets = CooldownMapping(cooldown)
        else:
            func.__commands_cooldown__ = cooldown
        return func
    return decorator

but for app_commands?

[vale wing]

!d discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.cooldown

@discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown(rate, per, *, key=...)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a command.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns are based off of the `key` function provided. If a `key` is not provided then it defaults to a user-level cooldown. The `key` function must take a single parameter, the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") and return a value that is used as a key to the internal cooldown mapping.

The `key` function can optionally be a coroutine.

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.app_commands.CommandOnCooldown") is raised to the error handlers.

Examples

Setting a one per 5 seconds per member cooldown on a command:

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_load

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog\_load

await cog_load()```
This function *could be a* [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

A special method that is called when the cog gets loaded.

Subclasses must replace this if they want special asynchronous loading behaviour. Note that the `__init__` special method does not allow asynchronous code to run inside it, thus this is helpful for setting up code that needs to be asynchronous.

New in version 2.0.

[loud junco]

but if i use it in a class
the function will become a method

[vale wing]

You use this in a Cog subclass

[vale wing]

Method is just a function bound to object

[loud junco]

test1 is called a Cog subclass in this case?

[vale wing]

Test*

test1() is a method

[loud junco]

i thought Test is the class?

[vale wing]

Yes

Why can't class be a subclass lol

there "why" same list server , list server... is bad example "list server: hola server, como server , etc"

code:

        embed.add_field(name="List Server", value=f"{guilds.name}")```

[vocal snow]

why are you adding a field for each guild then

[severe mural]

yeah, but no idea much sorry.

how field idea example:

List Server:
Hello server
como server...

[vocal snow]

you should make a string with the guild names; ```py
", ".join(g.name for g in client.guilds)

[severe mural]

oh but is no is json?

sorry is python lol.

okay sigh.

hmm moment think,,,

[severe mural]

i see but no cant explain sorry, i am no good.

i see found search google

[slate swan]

are u auto syncing all cmds?

[severe mural]

maybe is "value=self.create_list(top_users, [f'<@{user}>' for _, user in top_users]),"

idk.

lol

[slate swan]

Bros making nuker or something

[severe mural]

embed.add_field(name="List Server", value=","(guilds.name for guilds in client.guilds))
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

[slate swan]

You don't put for loop into string Lmao

[severe mural]

Yeah but no sorry i am no good sigh.

[slate swan]

embed.add_field(name="List Server", value=(guilds.name for guilds in client.guilds))

[severe mural]

i see think remove ","

[slate swan]

I recommend learning python further

[slate swan]

That's only if your calling arg in function

[severe mural]

yeah already but i am no professional

but i am little .

[slate swan]

This is basic python bro…

[severe mural]

Okay.

[sweet ore]

[slate swan]

But yea your learning

[sweet ore]

Ye.... new to discord.py

[slate swan]

Unless your using Replit I thought it's impossible to be rl

[severe mural]

Hmmm...

[sweet ore]

I am not.

i will fix it

[severe mural]

hmm think no solution lol.

[slate swan]

Are you using bot or client

[vale wing]

I think enabling logging will show what requests you make and how often, try that

[severe mural]

is client.

(yeah is client.event)

"client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="&", intents=intents)"

[sweet ore]

It's fixed now

[vale wing]

@severe mural can you please explain what exactly your problem is? If you are struggling to talk in English just use translator (you speak spanish right?)

[vale wing]

Glad to hear

[severe mural]

yeah, no problem there example:

Correct :
List Server:
my Server,
Server Husho, etc...

incorrect :
List Server:
my Server,
List Server:
Server Husho... etc

[severe mural]

Problem there code look:

[vale wing]

Just put server name to field name and server description to field value

[severe mural]

Hmm

[vale wing]

for guild in guilds:
    embed.add_field(name=guild.name, value=guild.description, inline=False)```

Dunno if in dpy they've kword only

!d discord.Embed.add_field

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining. Can only be up to 25 fields.

[severe mural]

i see.

[vale wing]

Too bad

[severe mural]

maybe is example: Value to description.

[vale wing]

In disnake everything's better

[severe mural]

XD

okay i see..

[vale wing]

!d disnake.Embed.add_field

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Embed.add\_field

add_field(name, value, *, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[vale wing]

Yeah love them being positional

[shrewd apex]

out of habit i still use kwarg

[vale wing]

Example I provided does that

[severe mural]

yeah moment check think complicated.

ah guilds.description do not exist.

or yes, maybe but error " expected an indented block"

[vale wing]

Everything except modals 💀

[severe mural]

💀

[vale wing]

!d discord.Guild.description

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.description

The guild’s description.

[vale wing]

It does

[vale wing]

Indents issue, make sure to indent your code properly

[slate swan]

Nextcord modals >

[vale wing]

Nextcord has best modals you say?

[severe mural]

no have my nextcord (my have discord.py)

future nextcord xd

[severe mural]

yeah....

[slate swan]

Yessir

[severe mural]

Look:

but think.. sigh.

[slate swan]

I've used them multiple times flawless

[vale wing]

Idk seem similar to disnake ones except they assign them as attributes

[slate swan]

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/blob/master/examples/modals/modal.py

[vale wing]

Yeah I just seen that

We have the superior modal in bobux bot

[slate swan]

What's that?

[severe mural]

Okay, no problem @vale wing

thanks and tomorrow question other help expert.

[vale wing]

Project some regulars here are involved into

[slate swan]

Wouldn't this send multiple embeds?

[vale wing]

I am da manager

And the modal is so good

[slate swan]

Examples of modal?

Ngl nextcord modals solo

[vale wing]

modal = Modal(...)
results, m_inter = await modal.wait()```

[slate swan]

ewwww

Nextcord cleaner don't lie

[severe mural]

yeah

there last is list server

there is correct and error: #discord-bots message

[slate swan]

listGuild = []
for guild in client.guilds:
listGuild.extend(guild.name)

Then all you do is use listGuild variable in value

[severe mural]

Hmmm

[severe mural]

last there is value=?

example "value=(listGuild))"

lol.

maybe

@slate swan wtf

[vale wing]

Imho having consequential parts of code in different places is bad code design and all libraries actually do that for some reason

[shrewd fjord]

Simple answer...
guild_names=""
for guild in client.guilds:
guild_names+=guild.name +"\n"
embed.add_field(name=...,value=guild_names)

[slate swan]

user_log = await guild.audit_logs(limit=1, action=action).get()
How?

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.Guild.audit_logs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.audit\_logs

async for ... in audit_logs(*, limit=100, before=..., after=..., oldest_first=..., user=..., action=...)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.11)") that enables receiving the guild’s audit logs.

You must have [`view_audit_log`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.view_audit_log "discord.Permissions.view_audit_log") to do this.

Examples

Getting the first 100 entries:

```py
async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=100):
    print(f'{entry.user} did {entry.action} to {entry.target}')
```...

[shrewd fjord]

Just use the default example? ^^^^

[slate swan]

?

Error:

AttributeError: 'async_generator' object has no attribute 'get'```

[slate swan]

.

[upbeat gust]

What about it?

[slate swan]

Doesn't fit

[upbeat gust]

Why not

[slate swan]

await audit_ch(guild, discord.AuditLogAction.role_create)

[upbeat gust]

And why not just use anext like the other person suggested if you don't want to do an async for loop

[vale wing]

I am simply callbacks hater

[slate swan]

    user_log = await guild.audit_logs(limit=1, action=action).get()
    return user_log.user```

[vale wing]

Or flatten

[upbeat gust]

what

[vale wing]

That is a thing right

[upbeat gust]

No

That's outdated

[vale wing]

When was it outdated

[slate swan]

What should I do? How to update?

[upbeat gust]

I'm not talking to you

[upbeat gust]

Was changed in 2.0.0a

[upbeat gust]

So many people have given suggestions of what to do, all valid, why do you keep ignoring them?

[vale wing]

A they switched to a builitin async gen

That doesn't have that method obviously

[upbeat gust]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html#moving-away-from-custom-asynciterator

[vale wing]

Or that's not builtin

[slate swan]

I don't understand how to update

[vale wing]

Screw them I am disnake user

[slate swan]

:/

[upbeat gust]

No one told you to update

[slate swan]

And what then needs to be done for the code?

[upbeat gust]

literally like 3 people have answered

Consider actually reading the messages people send.

[slate swan]

I read, but I don’t see anything other than sites

[upbeat gust]

.

[upbeat gust]

.

[upbeat gust]

.

Like 4 different ways you could do it

[slate swan]

How will this help me?

[upbeat gust]

so have you read it?

[slate swan]

Yes

[upbeat gust]

Have you used a for loop before?

[slate swan]

No

Yes

Thk

[upbeat gust]

I highly recommend at least knowing some python before trying to make a bot

[slate swan]

Working

I'm sorry I just misunderstood

[slate swan]

I know python, it's just difficult to understand the meaning of words through a translator

[slate swan]

bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{file[:-3]}')
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback```

[loud junco]

read the error

[shrewd fjord]

"await" uwu

await it

[slate swan]

How to turn on?

[loud junco]

just add the term await in front of it

but really learn english before learning python

everything is going to be clear after that

or memorise the meaning of certain term in python

[slate swan]

Ok..

[dapper cobalt]

Is the function async?

[slate swan]

No
I know that "await" should be written with "async"

But the code worked on another PC

[slate swan]

No "await"

[shrewd fjord]

Show the full code

[naive briar]

What does the read line say

[slate swan]

    if file.endswith('.py') and not file in ["config.py"]:
        bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{file[:-3]}')
        print(file[:-3])```

cog loading is now async

[slate swan]

?

What should I do?

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html#command-extension-changes

read this

Okey

[slate swan]

Why can't I use "@bot.command()"? Could this be because I used a bunch of "@bot.event"?

[slate swan]

My "@bot.event":

on_guild_channel_update
on_member_join
on_guild_channel_create
on_guild_channel_delete
on_guild_role_create
on_guild_role_delete
on_guild_update
on_guild_role_update```

[slate swan]

there's no thing like bot.message

[slate swan]

Ouch

@bot.command()*

Sorry

!intents you need message_content intents for that to work

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[slate swan]

No

My code:

async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Text")```

Bot ignores

...

[slate swan]

Test code

your code will not work without that intent.

atleast read what the embed says

[slate swan]

My code:

intents = discord.Intents.all()

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="pm.", intents=intents)
bot.remove_command('help')```

the code for commamd should be above bot.run

[slate swan]

Yes

async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Text")

bot.run(token)```

can you show your full code

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[slate swan]

20% Ok?

can show base?

[elder venture]

Heyoo, just a quick question:
Im coding a Bot thats checking Ports. Its working. Now i want it to loop every minute but i dont want to use the .sleep function because its blocking ressources (am i right there?).
Is it smarter to use a scheduler then or is ther a better way to solve that problem?

[slate swan]

Only dm

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands
import json

color_1 = 192
color_2 = 192
color_3 = 192

default_whitelist = [

]

black_list_bots = [

]

with open(r"cong.json") as f:
    j = json.load(f)
    token = j["token"]
    prefix = j["prefix"]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents=discord.Intents.all()

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="pm.", intents=intents)
bot.remove_command('help')

#Code "@bot.event"...

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Text")

bot.run(token)```

do you have an on_message event

[slate swan]

Yes

if yes, change .event on it to .listen()

with the brackets

[slate swan]

async def on_message(message):
    if not message.author.bot:```

[slate swan]

1 min

[slate swan]

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:

[slate swan]

but a task would be a much better option

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

@discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[slate swan]

Thk

[elder venture]

uuuh perfect, thank you for the tip ^^

[slate swan]

What's code for command deleting

Like when i say !down it sends respond but deletes my message

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.message

The message that triggered the command being executed.

Note

In the case of an interaction based context, this message is “synthetic” and does not actually exist. Therefore, the ID on it is invalid similar to ephemeral messages.

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

await delete(*, delay=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Deletes the message.

Your own messages could be deleted without any proper permissions. However to delete other people’s messages, you must have [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages").

Changed in version 1.1: Added the new `delay` keyword-only parameter.

[ebon island]

How does one get the current track time / position for a playing mp3 in dpy/disnake?

does it require something jank like incrementing time since the start via cron or something and pausing on pause or something? That sounds awful, it'd be really cool if dpy/disnake just knows and can yield that info

[tough lance]

Hi, I don't have much experience with logging module, but just setting up logging for disnake with a file loaded that file with 56 mb of stuff

[slate swan]

are you logging debugs too?

[tough lance]

Yes

[slate swan]

it should be 56mb either way, unless you have tons of dependencies

[slate swan]

it's not the task of a discord wrapper's job to control what your voice server is playing

the sole task is sending packets

read your voice server's docs to find out

[teal glade]

I want to create toggleable chat filters for my bot. Basically it replaces a member's message with a completely different string when turned on...

Is it possible to edit another user's message with discord.py?

[slate swan]

no

trying to setup custom context, getting discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Context' object has no attribute 'approve'

am i doing this wrong or something

async def approve(self, *args, value: str, **kwargs) -> discord.Embed:
        return discord.Embed(description=f"{self.author.mention} {value}", color=discord.Color.green())```

```py
from objects.context import Context


    @commands.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx: Context):
        await ctx.approve(value=f"Pong! {round(self.bot.latency * 1000)}ms")```

[maiden fable]

Uh, u do know that it isn't how you can change the commands.Context class right?

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/custom_context.py

[teal glade]

What if I want to create a webhook for the channel and send a translated message using it?

[slate swan]

yeah you can send a webhook message

[teal glade]

Okay, so how can I create one to mimic a user's profile (display name and avatar)?

I never done webhooks with the API

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_webhook

await create_webhook(*, name, avatar=None, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a webhook for this channel.

You must have [`manage_webhooks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks "discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks") to do this.

Changed in version 1.1: Added the `reason` keyword-only parameter.

[slate swan]

it has the arguments you need

[shrewd fjord]

Yo

[teal glade]

I have made this event so that if a member id is saved inside the 'muffled' list, the member's message will be replaced with a webhook with the same display name and avatar that says the "muffled" text

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.id in muffled:
        webhook = await message.channel.create_webhook(name="Themis Message Filter", avatar=message.author.display_avatar)
        await webhook.send(textmuffle(message.content))

[shrewd fjord]

So what's the prob?

It's working, u just need to delete the author's message

[teal glade]

I get an AttributeError

[slate swan]

Attribute error to?

.display_avatar.url

it takes a string ( the url)

[teal glade]

thanks

[shrewd fjord]

I remembered printing display_avatar, but idk what was the data type , but it returned url, idk if it was str 😂

It returns asset obj :0

[slate swan]

is it possible to run 2 bots in one project ?

[shrewd fjord]

Running diff file from each terminal, yes

[slate swan]

!e ```py

spooky

[shrewd fjord]

[shrewd fjord]

Print the type 🗿

[slate swan]

i mean this

from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".")

@client.event

    print("eheh")

client.run("token")
bot.run('token')```

[shrewd fjord]

Breh

[vale wing]

Bro just create 2 several bots

[shrewd fjord]

Weird stuff

[slate swan]

ofc the type will be Asset, but printing the object will always return the str

[slate swan]

i want them to connect with each other

[vale wing]

If you need interprocess communication embed API

[shrewd fjord]

Demn

[slate swan]

don't this is bad in many ways

[slate swan]

ok

[vale wing]

Or whatever websocket on local machine

[slate swan]

create a simple api or database integration to connect the bots

[vale wing]

Seems legit

[teal glade]

Same line raises another error
TypeError: startswith first arg must be str or a tuple of str, not bytes

[slate swan]

i did

[shrewd fjord]

Returning bytes like obj

Full traceback

[vale wing]

!d discord.Asset.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.url

property url```
Returns the underlying URL of the asset.

What is data and how do you get it

And why the heck do you check for a literal bytestring

message.author?

[vale wing]

Idk what is your user

[teal glade]

It's for this event

[vale wing]

If you know OOP you got what I meant

[teal glade]

ah okay

Well it made the webhook

[terse coyote]

i know about this. i need to do general cooldown for all commands. when member uses 1 command, next command he can use after certain amount of seconds

[vale wing]

Next command globally?

[teal glade]

I only want to make one for every channel, so how do I check if a webhook was already made?

        await message.channel.send(f"{accountname}'s account has been updated successfully!")
